Dan was honest and helpful. I dropped my laptop and broke the screen. I had ordered a replacement screen because it still worked with an external monitor, but when I was waiting for the lcd, my battery died and I realized my laptop would not charge or turn on from the power cable. I figured my power supply was injured in the fall, so I called up Dan. He told me to come on by and I dropped off the computer. He called me later that day saying he tested various parts of the motherboard and the motherboard needed to be replaced. He suggested buying a new laptop and did not charge me for his services since he could not fix the problem. I will definitely recommend Dan Keating to friends and use him in the future. His quoted prices were affordable and competitive with the other repair firms in the Sacramento Area.. read more

I've been working with Dan for about six years and he's always been there for me. Fast to answer and return calls, professional, knowledgable, level-headed and friendly. He has helped me with everything from setting up new computers and backup systems, to getting me out of some of the craziest computer messes on both Mac and PC. He's dedicated to figuring the problem out, not matter the level of complexity. It's rare to find someone who cares this much about his customers and I wouldn't think of working with anyone else. read more

Unbelievable customer service called him set an appointment for about an hour and a half later came to his place of business show him the problem immediately diagnosed the problem as just being a power cord issue and even let me borrow one of his own personal power cords until I can order a new one again Dan did a wonderful job if I ever have a computer problem again I will be taking it right back to him!!! read more

Dan is very knowledgeable and his prices are fair. I needed my CD disc tray fixed on my laptop and contacted him because of his stellar reviews on Yelp. The Yelp reviews are spot on. Dan fixed my cd disc tray and gave me great advice on upgrading my hard memory. He fixed the tray and installed a new hard drive for a fair price. My laptop is now much faster and with close to double the memory storage. I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done on their laptop. read more

Our laptop cover wired out and power unit come loose and eventfully stopped powering up the lap top. Called Keating Technical Consulting. Denial came and worked on it. With very reasonable price, not only he changed the power unit but also whole cover due to multiple components were damaged. Than you so much Denial for the great job!! Regina Z. read more

Upstanding service! Bought a new computer in Sept. It was acting like the 10 yo computer I replaced it with. The store said it was a software issue and so I could not use the protection plan that was purchased. I then took things into my own hands. I rebooted computer to factory settings and was still having issues. Based on high Yelp reviews I called Dan. He said he would look at the computer for free after he heard I was still having issues after rebooting. I brought the computer to him and he looked at it immediately. After completing a through search he found over 1,000 error messages "possibly due to 'faulty hardware'". Now I can send my computer back to the manufacturer. I was so thankful that I offered Dan $20.00. He refused. I will definitely use Dan again. read more

Dan is always great, prompt, punctual and most of all precisely correct. He's very honest and witty too boot. He's quick and will even work through my technical issues over the phone or online. Very impressed. read more

Took my laptop to Dan and had a great experience. I know my issue was not a big money maker for him, but he treats his customers really well and did a great job fixing my computer as good as new. He ran into a problem with my computer and still did the repair for the price he quoted. I am pretty sure he lost money on this, but was super nice and professional about it anyway. I'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation. read more

This is the most honest, straight-forward company, regardless of industry, I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I contacted Dan at KTC because my desktop took an unexpected turn for the worse. Rather than giving me a lot of vague information and telling me I'd need to bring it in for (expensive) repairs, Dan was very honest and responded to my email with a list of things to fix my problem. When I followed up with him and provided additional information, he continued to help me free-of-charge. It would have been easy for him to simply tell me that I needed to drop my computer off, hold it for a week, make the fix, and then charge me an arm and a leg, but instead, I'm up and running, all from the comfort of my own home. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone with a computer problem. His knowledge is outstanding and his customer service (and I wasn't even a paying customer yet) goes above and beyond. Simply phenomenal. read more

I experienced the dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on my five year old Dell Inspiron laptop. Up until then I'd been able to fix various computer problems on my own, but on this one I was out of my league. I went to Yelp and saw the flawless five-star ratings for Dan and contacted him. I dropped the unit off at his place in midtown Sac on a Sunday morning and he called me later that day to say he was able to get it running again with a bootup disc. Long story short...using his bootup disc as well as his instructions I was finally able to get the computer operating normally again! A very nice and knowledgeable guy. Going forward he will be my sole source for fixing my computer problems! read more

Dan is you go- to person for any laptop problem! I own a bad HP model which had a power source and heating problem. Not only did Dan fix this but he improved the computers performance! All of this done in just a couple of days and for a great price. He was very clear in his explanations and very patient with my slow computer. Thanks Dan! read more

This is actually 2 poor reviews in 1. I first found this company for a friend and made the recommendation based on yelp reviews. My friend later informed me that, after trying repeatedly to contact Daniel and getting no response, that he had to find an alternative. Hoping that this was simply a fluke, I sought out Daniel's services for my own computer needs. After not responding to my initial inquiry, he did respond to my follow-up email. His response was polite but ultimately not helpful. After I responded to his questions, I never heard from him again. Highly unprofessional. Give your business to someone who cares enough to talk to you. Customer service 101. read more

Let me start off by saying I no nothing about computers. Mine started slowing down and I was so frustrated. Then a friend told me about Daniel and he was amazing. He was fast and he knew exactly everything that was wrong with it. He never made me feel stupid because there were alot of things I should have been doing to my computer regularly but I never knew. He's great I recomend everyone to him!! Oooh and I've seen amazing websites he's done too. read more

Excellent. I had a computer virus that my Kaspersky protection software was unable to deal with. Over phone, Dan provided quick, easy to follow help that worked, and all for free. I was really impressed. read more

The reviews don't lie. Dan (owner of Keating Technical Consulting) is currently working on my laptop and has been nothing short of professional, honest and just an all around good guy. He has given me very helpful advice on how to save $$ in the future, and is giving me what I consider a good deal on retrieving data on a malfunctioning hard drive, installing a new hard drive, and making sure Windows and the security updates are installed. I had not read a single review prior to contacting Dan, and knew after our intial conversation that I had contacted the right person to help. He does not seem to be taking advantage of people's inexperience with computers, which makes me most comfortable. Give him a call, you will not regret it. I will make sure to use him again in the future. read more

This guy is unbelievable. I had a printer issue and described it in my contact email that I wrote on a Sunday. The contact screen on his website let me specify what time I would like to be called back the next day. Instead of calling me back, Dan wrote me an email telling me how to fix my printer. Voila, no tech call, no charge and some additional advice on printer cartridges. You can't find service like this anywhere these days. I'm definitely going back for all my computer issues. read more

Dan is the computer whisperer, plain and simple. Honest, quick, and communicative...he's now my go to guy for all computer repairs after my experience with him resurrecting my beat up lil netbook. Ditch the Geek Squad and their ilk. Dan's what you need! read more

My a little over 1 year old crappy Dell laptop crashed on me while I was watching an episode of a Fox show. I know a tiny little bit about computer, just merely enough to avoid taking my computer to computer repair shop on minor software/hardware issues. So I managed to replace the hard drive and to reinstall the OS myself after some Googling work. I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to retrieve data from the crashed hard drive. Nope, I was wrong! The main partition was nowhere to be found! I became devastated because I needed my family photos back! (Lesson learned: always back up the data frequently!) I called Dan and he told me the honest scenario when I asked him for a price estimate. I left my hard drive with him at his home office and he was able to retrieve my missing partition. Yay! His work is professional, rate is honest and reasonable. I trust his work more than Staples or any other places (this isn't my first time seeking data recovery service). He charged me 2 hours on the job and gave me a report print out of my failed drive. Sometimes you get a feeling on whether someone is honest or gonna rip you off. He gives me a feeling that he's a trustworthy guy. Anyway, Dan is awesome! Highly recommended! read more

All the reviews are right, Dan is amazing. He even tried to help me over the phone before I brought my computer in. He knew what was wrong right away and ordered the part, fixed it and it is up and running again in just a matter of days. Do not take your computer anywhere else! Dan is personable, sweet and has way more knowledge than some box store. Thank you Dan!!! read more

Love Dan, Dan the computer man. He's repaired 2 of my computers and has never lost any of my data. Referred a friend who was just as impressed. Prices are fair and the service is A+++++. read more

I called Dan on a Sunday in desperation to help me with a family member's gmail problem. Probably not exactly his main area of expertise but he was so kind and patient and offered me advice for about 20 mins. Then, a day later we sorted out the problem on our own. I called Dan to tell him and see what we owed him but he said no charge!! Dan's the real deal and I couldn't recommend him higher. read more

Dan is absolutely amazing. My little-over-a-year old all-in-one desktop had a hard drive crash and I didn't know what to do, so I jumped on yelp looking for someone who could help me out. I had read that all-in-one computers were difficult to repair, but not only did Dan repair my computer, he was also able to salvage most of the files on the damaged hard drive. He kept me updated on the status of my computer repair and charged a reasonable fee. Dan is awesome and if I ever need any additional computer repairs in the future, I will most definitely return to him. read more

Dan always knows how to fix the problem, he is fast, friendly and is willing to try to fix things over the phone first. Ill always call him before anyone else! Thanks for the printer fix Dan! read more

Any one who is reading this may have had that moment where your computer totally shuts off and you think your totally out of luck and have to spend a ridiculous amount of time and money to fix. Well I had that moment. I called Dan, was able to drop off my computer and the next day he had fixed it, without anything getting deleted or spending hundreds of dollars! Very reliable and honest guy who saves the day! read more

I've had 3 weeks of home internet issues. Finally realized I needed extra help. Went on Yelp this am and found Daniel. He said to call him after work. I expected he'd have to come over and work for a while. After an hour on the phone with him, everything is fixed!! I'm so happy to work with someone local and I know I can call him if anything else goes wrong. I totally recommend him! read more

So I called Dan because of all the positive reviews. My wi fi connection to my printer stopped working when I did an update. I've been limping along in my job for over two weeks. I asked him if he could come and help me. He said no, but them proceeded to walk me through it on the phone! Really? Who spends a half an hour of their time on the phone---for free when they don't even know who is on the other end of the phone. Thank you Dan, and I will be bringing that bottle of wine by some time this week! read more

Dan helped me with a problem I was having with a new ASUS laptop that I bought at Best Buy. The Geek Squad at Best Buy was no help, but Dan answered my questions by e-mail very promptly and when I finally took the laptop to him to work on, he charged me a very reasonable fee. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Dan. I will definitely be going to Dan with any future computer problems I have. read more

Dan is a really great guy. He is very knowledgable and professional. I've been having a very severe problem with my laptop notebook (hardware issues), and he was quick to diagnose and run some tests to figure out what the problems were. The diagnostics were free, as opposed to taking it to fry's or other retail specialist that charge $70 for diagnostics. He makes each client feel trusted, while leaving your hardware with him. And he keeps them up to date with his process. He has very reasonable prices and runs an honest business. I definitely recommend him to any individual or businesses for any technical services. He will do his best to help read more

found my computer guy, called him about my samsung notebook but told me he could look at it but that he was very busy, i took it to a few other places and they had no real idea what to do and gave me a crazy price. I called again and dropped of my notebook. he fixed it very quickly and added everything it need. great price too. Im taking everything to this young man. read more

Committed to great service. Came in on Sunday when he couldn't fix my problem on Friday. Great service, great guy. Would recommend to everyone. read more

Dan is AMAZING! I had the dreaded "click of death" on my computer for way too long, which brought issues of freezing, blue screens, and multiple headaches. He had me buy a new hard drive at Best Buy and I dropped it off along with the computer for him to work some magic. He emailed me the next day with good news - there was an "extra" hard rive in my computer that he could use instead and I could get my money back at Best Buy by returning the one I had just bought! I picked up my computer a couple days later and so far it is working perfectly! He even transferred all of my music files and bookmarks over! Extremely nice, professional, honest, communicative and speedy - I will never go anywhere else with my computer needs! read more

Dan is awesome. He help by transferring files and pictures from my old computer and a hard drive to my new computer. He answers his phone, if he can't he will text right back. LE friendly!!! read more

The Yelp reviews about Dan Keating are very accurate and well earned. He has helped me build a powerhouse custom Lenovo workstation from scratch to my specifications and offered very useful insight on how to make it even better. Dan also rebuilt our Dell Server with a redundant double RAID configuration in case of catastrophe. And installed new windows server software when our previous IT team recommended a new Dell server. Dan is our IT team now. We have a busy office with a server, 16 workstations, 9 staff, and a big client base. We absolutely cannot afford computer downtime! The BEST thing I can tell you about Dan is that I rarely if ever call him for support - everything just works well all the time. And he's given us the tools and knowledge to keep things humming. When we do have to call him for questions, he is very responsive. Being above average in technical knowledge, I can tell you Dan really knows his stuff. His fees are very very reasonable. And I always get the feeling that he recommends what he would do himself ; I never get the feeling he's trying to sell me service/product I don't need. We cannot recommend Dan Keating highly enough. read more

Keating Technical Consulting - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

Unbelievable! Dan fixed another problem in no time. This after we called the company's tech support and they did not know what the cause was but that it had something to do with the registry and would not touch it. It was not in the registry and was fixed very quickly by someone who knows what he's doing. So save yourself time and needless grief, call Dan first. read more

You know that feeling that comes when you hand off your precious laptop to someone who knows exactly what they are doing? Nice guy, quickly diagnosed the problem, and then fixed it. Highly recommend Dan. read more

Dan "The Man" Keating will be my Go To Guy for all things computer from now on. I've already recommended him to everyone I know. My HP laptop had been overheating off and on for almost a year and finally crashed completely. I'm currently unemployed so was hoping it would not cost an arm and a leg to fix. Dan quoted $60 upon our first meeting, initially thinking it was the CPU. But after replacing the CPU, my computer still would not boot up. So Dan "The Man" did some investigating online and found out the model HP I have had some inherent problems (curse you Hewlett Packard, for not recalling this model) from the start. He found out that some people had had success "baking the motherboard" so he tried it -- and it worked! Dan had my computer for a couple of weeks and I was beginning to think it was either terminal or was going to cost so much I wouldn't be able to get it back. But he finally called, said it was fixed -- and he was sticking to the original quoted price!!!! Not only that, but he noticed there were still some errors showing up, so he told me to come a little later in the day so he could take care of those. Additionally, he added some free antivirus software and other programs he noticed I didn't have. Gotta love this guy! Honest, more than reasonable -- and never gives up! What more could you ask for?

After the other great reviews for Dan Keating Technical Consulting I decided to take my laptop with its broke with hinge to Dan. When I called for a quote Dan was very upfront and truthful about the cost and when I dropped it off to him, he was friendly and accommodating. The day after dropping it off Dan called with not great news, the damage to my laptop was not worth fixing and he recommended not fixing it and putting the money toward a new laptop. While this wasn't the best news I appreciated him giving me my options and being honest about the damage. When I picked up the laptop Dan didn't even charge me for looking at my computer and he took both hinges off so at least I could us it propped up on something while I try to get a new laptop. Thanks Dan - all my future computer issues will go to you. read more

My computer wouldn't boot. Yelp led me to Dan and he was able to help me with my computer. I dropped it off with him late afternoon and it was ready to pick up the next day. His price is very reasonable. He is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, etc. He also adjusted a few settings in my computer and now it runs much better than ever. Thank you Dan!! read more

My HP laptop got overheated and completely lost video signal, it just had a black screen. A friend of mine recommended Keating services just because it had the most positive reviews. Sure enough Dan was able to bring my laptop back to life and even charged me less then I expected. He even did some extra work and installed all the needed updates to it. I'm very happy with the service and would defiantly recommend him to my friends. read more

Dan provided me with great customer service and affordable pricing. He was able to fix my Sony Duo 13 when no one else could. I recommend him for all your computer repair needs! read more
